- swtich from grub-legacy to grub-gfxboot (therefore
switch from splash.xpm to message cpio archive as well)
- switch from ext2 to ext4
- fix mbu-uuid to allow tab characters in menu.lst
12c: 2012/9/25
- add the -x option to exclude installation of grub and ttylinux
(i.e. only partition and format the usb stick)
- the "--recheck" option of grub-install causes strange error
messages with grub-0.97-84.fc16.x86_64.rpm on fedora 17.
so remove it.
12b: 2012/5/10
- the 12a version upload file was slightly confusing
(version number in comments, docs). Corrected now.
12a: 2012/4/29
- user can now express "more than 200MB" using "200+" in
the -z option, like -z '200+ 500'
11a: 2011/10/16
- unnecessarily mounting the extended partition used to
create error messages. don't do it any more
- add the -j option to junk the usb stick by filling 0's
into its mbr (hence removing all partitions) so that
a windows machine can reclaim the usb stick as a
storage-only dumb flash drive
- umount all source partitions upon exit
09c: 2009/05/14
- abort only when failing to mount dst part, instead of
aborting at any failed mount attempt.
09b: 2009/05/04
- enlarge 4th partition to accommodate larger ttylinux
09a: 2009/04/19
- update ttylinux to version 8.0
- don't ask for device unnecessarily
- print error and die if fails to mount
08h: 2008/07/19
- complete rewrite
08g: 2008/05/18
- package all files relative to the root directory
- cloning is now very easy
- change the meaning of option -s to indicated the source
device for cloning; use -z to specify partition sizes
08f: 2008/04/13
- Package ttylinux into mk-boot-linux so that there is no
need to download, mount loop, and so on. Lots of hassles
are avoided and network is no longer needed for running
mk-boot-usb.
- Add "-o ro" when mounting usb for displaying partial
lists of original files. Hopefully this will remove
the occasional bizaar situations that later umount
command complains device busy.
08e: 2008/04/11
- Users are now asked to disable "automatic mounting of
removable media".
- Downloaded ttylinux iso image is now put in /tmp.
Systems using unionfs have trouble mounting loop devices
located in one of the unionfs branches. In such systems,
/tmp is typically mounted as tmpfs and is therefore safe.
08d: 2008/03/22
- Fix bug for 1-partition situation
- Add menu for otg-linux
08c: 2008/03/12
- Retrieve ttylinux from people.ofset.org instead of the
official site (because the link became invalid when
the official site upgraded ttylinux)
- Create only 1 partition for small usb sticks
08b: 2008/03/07
- Also installs "lilo -M" without really invoking lilo
- Md5sum check for ttylinux as suggested by Georges Khaznadar
08a: 2008/02/25 First released
